Winter in the Harz Mountains

There’s more than enough to enjoy and experience in the Harz Mountains—and not just in the summer. The winter months also offer plenty of opportunities for a vacation in the Harz Mountains.

Think, for example, of winter hiking, sledding, or cross-country skiing.

Winter Activities

Cross-Country Skiing

Just 11 kilometers from the hotel, you’ll find the newest cross-country ski trails in the Harz Mountains. Three trails have been established in Friedrichsbrunn, ranging in length from 4.5 to 14 kilometers.

Tobogganing

Friedrichsbrunn has several toboggan runs ranging from 80 to 150 meters in length—enough for a day of fun for the whole family!

Skiing

There are several ski slopes in Braunlage. Braunlage is 38 kilometers from the hotel. You can find more information about snow conditions and ski lifts in the area.

Winter Hiking

Take a walk through snow-covered forests right from the hotel, follow animal tracks in the snow, and admire the enormous icicles hanging from the rocks and the fairy-tale-like, snow-covered mountains. An extensive network of hiking trails awaits you, so you can enjoy the beautiful nature of the Harz Mountains even in winter.

Snowshoeing

When there’s enough snow, a snowshoe hike through the deep snow is a true adventure. For guests who want to try snowshoeing, we offer the option to rent the necessary equipment from us. We’re also the right place to go for suitable GPS routes.
Feel free to ask about the options.
